this is my first month talking it and its horrible. headaches, very irritable which sucks! i hate this stuff
I've been on chateal for 9 months I did have side effects the first 3 months just nausea after every meal to the point where I didn't even want to eat anymore I had lost my appetite but That's about it. Haven't had any serious problems like the ones mentioned here. I did start getting cravings after a few months and I've gained weight. I'm about to finish the pack I'm on now because I'm trying to lose weight and birthcontrol isn't working.
I WAS halfway done with my second slip from my first 3 month supply. I've never used this brand before. I stopped two days ago. I got severe acne, weight gain like it's cool and I just had a baby 7 months ago so it's a pain cause I'm trying to go back to what my weight was before pregnancy, my sleep sucks and not even from my son cause he sleeps the whole night, and I've been getting severe chest pains that take my breath away and make me lean over to catch my breath. I've never been scared like this, and I've never had these issues before that damn birth control. I've always been very healthy so once i started experiencing these, I stopped. Please don't use it. Everyone's different but you see so many of us experiencing what we shouldn't. Don't put your body through this stuff.

This post made me feel better
I'm almost done with my first month of this BC. I have not had too many problems with it except I have been very irritable and my breasts have been VERY tender, and are getting larger. Also my cramps were worse than usual with my period. You have to remember that BC has different side effects in everyone so just because people say that they had a bad time with this doesn't mean that you will. I am sexually active, and I have had sex multiple times while on this pill and I am not pregnant so it is obviously doing its job. Every pill you take is going to have some sort of downfall, you'll just have to learn to put up with it.
What are your thoughts on the pill now? I'm supposed to start tomorrow
I've been on chateal for 2 months and aside from the occasional headache I feel perfectly fine. It personally works great for me.
I have been on Chateal for about a year 1/2 and at first it seemed to work great ( or at least i thought it was working, i didn't know, it was my first time using BC). Since then, I have experienced depression, high anxiety, the inability to loose weight, drowsiness and worst of all, terrible terrible acne. I had a bit of acne in high school, like most people, but now I'm 21 and its the worse I've ever experienced. I didn't think all of these symptoms would be linked to my BC, but now I know that this is exactly whats freaking out my body. All signs point to Chateal, and after reading most of these posts, I feel confident that it is indeed Chateal. I'm getting off this BC as soon as possible.
I had the same experience !!!! Horrible BC
I've been on it for over a month now , and I have no symptoms or weight gain , just mild acne breakout which cleared up , everyone has such horror stories Dx
This pill just might be my problem I went back to planned parenthood about a week ago because I had been bleeding and was no where near my time for my period I've been bleeding for about two weeks now they started me back on reclipsen because they said chateal might be causing the bleeding I don't know about you but I don't f feel like bleeding all month long I certainly hope this pill was my problem and if it is I will never be taking it again
I just started my second pack 2 days ago... Got it through a website called "prjktruby" because I could get 3 months worth for 5 dollars less than I was paying PER MONTH for a generic version of Yasmin, my insurance didn't cover prescriptions. However.... I haven't had a period. And I am like clockwork with when I start. But I also haven't had sex since I started taking it, and webMD (not the most reliable but it's something) says women won't have regular periods on it. I haven't seen much else in the way of side effects, I already had migraines before I started taking it and they haven't gotten any better or worse. I feel like I've gained weight but my jeans still fit (I don't have a scale) so it's not like I can possibly have gained that much if my clothes fit!
I've only been on it a week almost 2 and I've felt the same way and with stomach issues too
I've been on it for about 2 weeks and I only had mild headaches the first 3 days. Its my first form of BC so I wouldn't know the differenc . However I haven't had any other problems besides not being able to sleep, however I've always had a sleeping problem. The lack of sleep was only noticeable the first night when regularly I sleep around 2am and didn't sleep till about 7am. Either way I've been good I'll probably update after my first pack.
This says that you posted this over a year ago, did you experience ANY of these side effects too? because i just as you once did have just started taking it and i want to know if things went ok for you? please help!
